Lollapalooza, the music festival, is making its debut in Asia, with Mumbai, India set to be its eighth destination.
BookMyShow will promote and produce the two-day festival in India. It will also be supported by global producers Perry Farrell and WME. Lollapalooza India’s inaugural edition will be open daily to more than 60,000 visitors. It will include four stages featuring over 20 hours worth of live music and a variety of art and fashion. More information about the lineup will be available later in this year. Tickets starting at INR7000 ($88).
Lollapalooza began as a touring festival for several years. In Chicago, it has expanded to include annual editions in many countries such as Chile, Brazil (Argentina), Germany, France, Sweden, and France. The festival now boasts more than 66 editions, with India due to arrive in 2023.
Ashish Hemrajani, founder & CEO, BookMyShow, said: “BookMyShow is proud to bring Lollapalooza to India — making it the 8th country and the 4th continent to do so. With a mix of some stellar Indian talent and global artists coming together on the same stage, we expect nothing short of magic.”
The festival was founded by Jane’s Addiction frontman Perry Farrell. “The music of India is transcendental, it draws our spirits East,”Farrell said. “Lollapalooza is an instrument for unity, peace and education utilizing the universal languages of music and art to find common ground. You may be excited, and we are equally as excited.”
Lollapalooza India registrations are now open. J-Hope of BTS will close this year’s U.S. edition (July 28-31).
